1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 303: Husband, isn't capitalist nightlife fun? (Request full order)
Cheng Xuemin talked to his father-in-law on the phone and learned that the copyright registration in New York had been obtained, so he felt relieved.

"Xuemin, that foreign woman from last night is here again!"

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, after the crew had just finished reshooting the last scene, the movie "The Horse Herder" was officially completed and entered post-production.

When director Xie Jin was instructing everyone to pack up and prepare to go back to the factory, he saw the foreign girl Emily coming in the door. Knowing that she was looking for Cheng Xuemin, he quickly called out to her.

"Okay, thank you, Director!"

Cheng Xuemin looked over when he heard the voice and saw the big foreign horse Emily. After thanking her, he said to his brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao next to him, "Brother, help me clean up this place. I'm going to talk to her about something."

"Xuemin, what did that foreign woman want to see you for?" Brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao went home early yesterday, so he didn't know what happened last night.

"It's about what you asked me this morning, brother!" Cheng Xuemin replied him and walked away to greet him.

When the big mare Emily came in, she also saw Cheng Xuemin here. With a very bright smile on her face, she greeted him and shouted, "Cheng, I brought the agreement contract. Can we sign it?"

In fact, Emily, the foreign mare, wanted to sign the contract on the spot last night to avoid any further complications.

After all, she knew what a popular pop song meant to them.

Moreover, the Chinese man in front of her actually agreed to give her 10% of the copyright operation income. This price can be regarded as the highest in their domestic brokerage circle.

If it works well!

The US dollars she earned from this song alone is equivalent to her salary for several years, or even more.

Because her current monthly salary is only a little over 2,000.

"Miss Emily, of course!"

"I've been waiting for your contract agreement all day!"

Cheng Xuemin also smiled brightly. Now that the copyright registration has been obtained, the initiative is in his hands.

What Cheng Xuemin needs to do now is to sign an agent contract with the foreign girl Emily and use her connections and energy in her own country to help him run the business.

After all, getting a new song on the charts also requires connections behind the scenes to hype it up.

In a word, just get something for nothing and wait to count the money.

"Sorry, sorry, Cheng, you know, I need to adjust to the time difference when contacting our country, so I've been delayed until now!"

"Cheng, look at this contract!"

When Emily heard Cheng Xuemin say that he had been waiting for her for a whole day, her face turned pale instantly. She quickly took out the prepared contract agreement and handed it to Cheng Xuemin, as if she was afraid that he would go back on his word.

"Okay, Miss Emily, please sit here for a while!"

Cheng Xuemin took the contract very gentlemanly and motioned for Dayanma to sit next to him for a while.

"Okay!" The foreign horse heaved a sigh of relief and a bright smile appeared on his face again. Cheng Xuemin also sat down and looked at the contract agreement in his hand.

Very professional!
The contract brought by Dayangma was translated between Chinese and English. There was a Chinese translation under every line of English, so Cheng Xuemin would not be unable to understand the contents of the contract.

Of course, even without Chinese translation, it would not be difficult for Cheng Xuemin to understand this little English.

"Brother, what is my brother-in-law talking about with that foreigner?"

Feng Jiamo here also got to indulge in the thrill of filming. Director Xie even arranged a role for her as a waitress. She was really too happy.

She had just come out from the back after changing her clothes and was thinking about talking to Zhu Shan, when she saw her brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin talking and laughing with a young foreign woman with blonde hair and blue eyes who was quite good-looking. Her face frowned on the spot.

I followed them forward and wanted to listen to what they were talking about.

But then she thought about how she had just come here this morning and was frightened by her brother-in-law's order that she had to speak a foreign language to foreigners, so she shrank back.

Her eldest brother happened to be there too, so she nodded over there and asked her brother Feng Jiazhao.

"Jiamo, don't go over there and ruin your brother-in-law's business!"

"Your brother-in-law is discussing serious matters with foreign guests. If you don't understand, don't go over and interfere!"

Feng Jiazhao knew that his brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin was now discussing earning foreign exchange with that foreign woman, which was a big deal.

Just last night I heard from his mother that if this goes well, it can generate millions of foreign exchange for the country, and also millions of foreign exchange coupons for the family.

Feng Jiazhao was extremely excited just thinking about it, but he didn't dare let this crazy girl run over and disrupt her brother-in-law's business.

"Business?"

"Brother, tell me, what is my brother-in-law talking about with the foreigner?"

Feng Jiamo pouted, obviously not liking what her elder brother said, but she was really curious about what her brother-in-law was talking about with the foreign woman.

"A manuscript assignment! What else can you say?" Feng Jiazhao pulled Feng Jiamo and said, "Come here, help your brother-in-law put away his briefcase. You can take the factory car later and come back with us to the factory first."

"It's a commission! No wonder!"

Feng Jiamo nodded to indicate that she had guessed it a long time ago, and then ran to find her good sister Zhu Shan to show off.

Following the two little sisters, they hid behind and looked towards Cheng Xuemin, pointing and whispering from time to time.

"Ms. Emily, there is no problem with this agreement!"

"But there are some details that we need to study further!"

Cheng Xuemin read the contract agreement in its entirety and found that the contents were mostly the same and there was no major problem. At least he could not see any obvious loopholes or pitfalls.

But there is one thing that Cheng Xuemin must make clear to Dayan Ma.

The contract agreement only signs the work, not the person!

But her contract agreement clearly meant to sign Cheng Xuemin over all the copyright distribution and agency operations in their country.

And the time limit is five years!

Do you really think Cheng Xuemin is a rookie who knows nothing about the American market?
Not only signing him, but signing him for five years. That means in the next five years, all of Cheng Xuemin's new songs must be handed over to her for management and operation?

What are you thinking?

"what?"

"NO!NO!NO!"

After hearing Cheng Xuemin point out several points that needed to be studied and discussed, the foreign horse was instantly defeated and shook his head repeatedly, No!

Because this is what Cheng Xuemin said to her later!

We are not signing people, only works, and temporarily we are signing the agency and operation of this new song for a period of two years.

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it after we’ve cooperated for a period of time!
The little foreign girl who heard it directly kept shaking her head and saying no!
However, this is Cheng Xuemin's bottom line, and in order to stick to this, he once again gave the foreign girl two points of copyright revenue.

Finally a deal!
"Miss Emily, I wish you a pleasant cooperation!"

After signing the agreement, Cheng Xuemin smiled so brightly.

You just provide the copyright of a new song and don’t have to pay any other operating costs. In the end, you can just sit back and collect 88% of the copyright operating income. It’s so cool.

This is also because Cheng Xuemin really worships foreign things, but when it comes to intellectual property and copyright, the Americans do a really good job and respect cultural creators.

Because of the two points that were given up, Dayang Ma was also very unhappy. He then stretched out his hand, shook hands with Cheng Xuemin and said, "Cheng, you really don't look like a writer, but more like an excellent capitalist!"

"However, I still wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

"Haha, really?" Cheng Xuemin, a pure socialist successor, was actually praised as an excellent capitalist by a foreign capitalist. I don't know whether this was a mockery of him or a real compliment.

When they finally said goodbye, Cheng Xuemin said hopefully, "Miss Emily, I hope to hear good news from you as soon as possible!" "Me too!"

……

The filming of The Horse Shepherd was officially completed. After the entire crew evacuated from the Friendship Hotel, it was already time to get off work when they returned to Yanying Studio.

Director Xie simply said a few polite words, and the crew disbanded on the spot and went home.

"Next time, Xuemin. It's too late today. I'll definitely come to your house and bother you next time when I have time!"

On the way back, Cheng Xuemin invited Lao Xie to his home, but Lao Xie declined.

Now that the film has been shot, Xie Jin is thinking about editing it overnight and has no mood to go home and drink.

In response, Cheng Xuemin didn't say anything more. He just nodded, said goodbye and went home.

"Brother-in-law, I saw the negatives from Director Xie today, and I think the photos of Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi that you and Sister Zhu Lin took were so beautiful!"

"And Zhu Shan said that her sister Zhu Lin always called Ling Jun's name at home!"

Sister-in-law Feng Jiamo originally wanted to sit in the back seat of Cheng Xuemin's car, but was called over by her elder brother Feng Jiazhao.

I just walked for a while with Zhu Lin and her sister, and we had some pretty good conversation topics!

But after separating from the Zhu Lin sisters, the more they talked about their sister-in-law Feng Jiamo, the more embarrassed Cheng Xuemin, their brother-in-law, became.

What does it mean that he and Zhu Lin, who played Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi, are so good together?
What about Zhu Lin, who was at home, often called out the name "Lingjun"?

If her sister Feng Jiayou knew about this, she would definitely grab Cheng Xuemin's ears and make him tell the truth what was going on.

"That's because Zhu Lin is still in the movie. As a new actor, Zhu Lin is indeed very good in this movie!"

"Old Xie has praised her as a good candidate many times!"

Feng Jiazhao didn't think much about it. He agreed with his sister's words and highly praised the pair of Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi played by Cheng Xuemin and Zhu Lin.

"It didn't come out in the play!?"

"That is to say, Sister Zhu Lin now thinks that she is Li Xiuzhi and that she thinks my brother-in-law is her lover Xu Lingjun?"

"How can this be done?"

"The film has already been shot, but Zhu Lin has always treated her brother-in-law as her lover. What's going on?"

"No wonder when I went over today, I noticed that there was something wrong with the way Sister Zhu Lin looked at my brother-in-law!"

"Cough cough!" Cheng Xuemin coughed twice in succession.

The sister-in-law's words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Cheng Xuemin's ears.

She also glanced at her elder brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao and thought that he shouldn't say such things to a girl like her who knew nothing.

Well now, the misunderstanding seems to be getting deeper and deeper.

"What's wrong? That's the most basic professional quality of an actor. Don't make random guesses if you don't understand it!"

"Also, don't tell your sister about these things when you get home!"

It has to be the elder brother-in-law who understands his brother-in-law the best. Cheng Xuemin was embarrassed to make excuses, so he helped to emphasize the point to his sister-in-law.

"What kind of professionalism?!"

"Anyway, I just feel like something is not right, and Zhu Shan also said that about her sister!"

"No, I will definitely tell my sister when I get home!"

"Zhu Shan's sister has always been thinking about my brother-in-law as her lover. How could I not tell her?"

Feng Jiamo sat on the back of her eldest brother's bicycle. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she must let her sister know about this.

"The end of the family..."

Seeing that his sister was disobedient, the eldest brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao wanted to teach her a lesson again, but was interrupted by Cheng Xuemin, who said, "Jia Mo, you are joking with Zhu Shan!"

"But there are some jokes you can't make outside. Otherwise, not only will you and Zhu Shan no longer be friends, but her sister's reputation will also be ruined by your jokes, you know?!"

"Sister Zhu Lin's acting was indeed very good this time, but she is a newcomer after all. Once she gets into the role, she can't get out of it for a while. This is normal. We need to give her time!"

Cheng Xuemin pedaled his bicycle and continued with examples, "For example, Jiamo, Director Xie arranged a role for you today, and you were so excited the whole day that you didn't even come out for it!"

"And in the afternoon, you served two glasses of red wine to the two foreign guests in the hotel. Didn't you really think of yourself as a waiter in the hotel?"

"If a new actor can get into the role quickly, then he is very good. It can be seen that if you go to make a movie, you will definitely be a very good actress!"

"Really? Really? Brother-in-law, you also think I acted well today?" Women really can't stand compliments, especially those who love to compare. When Feng Jiamo heard her brother-in-law praise her like this, she instantly became proud and said, "Actually, I also think I can act better!"

Brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao and Cheng Xuemin rolled their eyes and were too lazy to pay attention to this conceited girl.

Not long after, Cheng Xuemin and his two companions returned home. Cheng Xuemin parked his bicycle, said hello in the front yard, and without seeing his father-in-law coming home from get off work, he went back to the backyard first.

In the back, his mother was taking care of her grandson Little Squirrel. His sister and cousin didn't see anyone, so they greeted his mother and asked her, and she told them that she had gone out.

Cheng Xuemin nodded and went straight into the inner room. His wife, Feng Jiayou, was working at the desk in front of the window, writing.

"Xuemin, I heard from grandpa and grandma that you came back to stay last night?"

Hearing the noise, Feng Jiayou looked up and found that it was her man who came back, so she put down the pen in her hand and asked.

"Ah! I came back late last night, so I didn't go over to disturb you and your son!"

Cheng Xuemin nodded, and went over to hug the woman, which frightened Feng Jiayou so much that she quickly dodged and scolded, "Stop it, Mom and the little squirrel are still outside!"

"Are you writing a manuscript?!"

"Come on, wife, sit on my lap and I'll help you polish your manuscript!"

Cheng Xuemin still refused to give in and asked Feng Jiayou to sit directly on his lap. However, how could Feng Jiayou dare to sit in such an immoral and intimate posture?
After breaking free, he continued the previous topic and asked, "Brother came back last night. Didn't you say that you wanted to stay in the hotel for one night to experience the capitalist nightlife?"

"Why did you suddenly come back home? Were you not corrupted by the nightlife over there?"

When Feng Jiayou came over at noon today, her grandparents mentioned it to her, but they didn't know why her husband suddenly came back last night.

"Haha, wife, you are absolutely right, your man was indeed corrupted last night!"

"And I suddenly got in the mood and improvised an English song. Guess what, wife?"

Still trying to break free and making fun of her man like this?

There was no doubt about that. Cheng Xuemin grabbed his unsuspecting wife Feng Jiayou, pulled her over and sat her on top of him, kneading her and smiling.

"I'm going to die! Be gentle!"

"How? Tell me how you came after you were corrupted?"

Feng Jiayou was laughing foolishly, and her man's hook successfully aroused her interest, so she asked anxiously.

"Wife, if nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before you can earn tens or even hundreds of thousands of foreign exchange coupons!"

……

PS: I didn’t want to say this, but I’ll say it after thinking about it: I was fooled by my bestie during the National Day holiday, and I rushed into the bull market after the holiday last week. As a result, you know that I lost all my royalties for the whole year, and I even want to die...

I'd better be a diligent coder for all my godfathers! Wealth beyond cognition is really not so easy to earn. I'll come back to resume the update and try my best to make up for the previous interruption. I'd like to say sorry to all my godfathers. I'm sorry!
